Blue Jays deal Happ to Yanks for pair of players

TORONTO -- The J.A. Happ sweepstakes came to an end on Thursday afternoon when the Blue Jays dealt one of their biggest assets to the Yankees.

Toronto acquired infielder Brandon Drury and outfielder Billy McKinney in exchange for Happ, who is eligible for free agency at the end of the year. Drury is under club control through 2021, while McKinney has appeared in just two Major League games and has six years of control remaining.

The Happ trade was the second of two deals Toronto made on Thursday and likely just the start of what should be plenty more moves to come.
